Chapter 21
: Malignant Mutation of the Martial Soul?
Emperor Xueye's guess was indeed correct.
Xue Qinghe, no... to be precise, Qian Renxue suddenly underwent a drastic personality change five months ago. This change was extremely dark and even affected Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo, who were responsible for protecting Qian Renxue, were also unsure why their young master was behaving this way. However, given the urgency of the situation, they could only contact the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu to decide how to handle the matter.
Upon receiving the news, Grand Elder Qian Daoliu rushed over from Wuhun City.
When he saw the crazy and extreme state of his granddaughter, on whom he had placed his hopes, his vision went black.
He was especially startled when he heard Qian Renxue calling out Bibi Dong's name with murderous intent.
I thought Xiaoxue had found out that Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji. Only if she suddenly found out that her biological mother killed her biological father could Xiaoxue have become like this.
The thought of the troubles between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, which are now affecting Xiaoxue, is a major headache even for Qian Daoliu, the Limit Douluo.
"What a terrible thing this is!"
That's what they say.
Qian Daoliu still stopped Qian Renxue, who was about to kill Bibi Dong with her sword drawn.
First, I absolutely cannot allow my beloved granddaughter to bear the stigma of matricide.
Secondly, even the current Qian Renxue cannot defeat Bibi Dong, who has already passed the Divine Test and become a Super Douluo.
In the end, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to forcibly take Qian Renxue back to the Offering Hall.
As for the original plan of the undercover agent to usurp the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire?
Qian Daoliu never took it seriously.
With a divine position to inherit, how could Qian Daoliu possibly care about the mere status of a Heavenly Dou Prince?
If it weren't for his granddaughter wanting to prove herself because of Bibi Dong, and not wanting to be discouraged, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have wanted his granddaughter Qian Renxue to come here as an undercover agent.
Qian Daoliu secretly brought Qian Renxue back to the Hall of Worship, which could be kept secret from others, but not from the worshippers of the Hall of Worship.
····························
At this time, inside the offering hall
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked worriedly at the golden-haired girl kneeling expectantly beneath the angel statue, his voice filled with concern, "So much time has passed, and Xiaoxue still hasn't recovered?"
A person's martial soul is not static after awakening. If there are special opportunities or a major blow, the martial soul may mutate.
Qian Renxue is currently in a similar situation.
The Angelic Martial Soul showed signs of mutation, with a dark and ominous aura beginning to emerge. Qian Daoliu, proud of his Six-Winged Angelic Martial Soul, regarded this mutation, which leaned towards darkness, as a malignant mutation.
He then brought Qian Renxue to the angel statue, hoping to rely on the angel's holy light to suppress and eliminate this malignant mutation.
"What happened to Xiaoxue? Why is she like this?" Although Guangling Douluo was an old man, he still had the heart of a child. He finally couldn't help but ask out of his curiosity.
Azure Phoenix Douluo shook his head. "I don't know, but since the Grand Elder didn't pursue the matter, it must not be that simple."
As the young master of the Hall of Offerings and the successor of the Angel God, Qian Renxue is one of the very few people who could make her suffer such injustice and become like this.
The Grand Elder dotes on Xiaoxue so much; if he could take revenge, he certainly would. The fact that he hasn't acted yet makes a move makes Qingluan Douluo think of a woman…
Only that woman could hurt Xiaoxue, and the High Priest wouldn't care.
"Oh!" Guangling Douluo didn't get a definite answer and shrugged in disappointment.
They then continued to "protect" the blonde girl praying in front of the angel statue to prevent her martial soul from undergoing further malignant mutations.
·······································
Meanwhile, after Qian Renxue remained unwell for a long time, Qian Daoliu asked Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo again, "What exactly happened before Xiaoxue became abnormal? Think about it carefully, maybe you can find out the reason why Xiaoxue became like this."
At first, Qian Daoliu also thought that Bibi Dong's killing of Qian Xunji had been exposed, which caused Qian Renxue's personality to change drastically.
However, after learning about the situation from Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, it turned out that this was not the case.
"Great Elder, I've told you everything I know. The young master woke up like this one morning." Serpent Spear Douluo smiled bitterly as he faced Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu's repeated questioning. He had been asked countless times these past few days, and the pressure was immense.
"Great Elder, the young master suddenly shouted the sect leader's name in her sleep, and then woke up like this. In my opinion, she couldn't be..." The Porcupine Douluo decided to help his good brother, the Serpent Spear Douluo, share some of the pressure. He swallowed and mustered up the courage to say his guess.
"Did the young master have a nightmare, which is why her personality changed so drastically?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Xiaoxue is a genius with innate soul power of level 20. How could she become like this because of a nightmare?" Qian Daoliu glared at the Porcupine Douluo when he heard this outrageous guess.
In the end, Qian Daoliu couldn't bear to see his well-behaved and adorable granddaughter become useless.
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
We arrived at the Papal Palace.
····································
Since Qian Xunji's death and Bibi Dong's ascension to the papacy, the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of the Pope have always kept to themselves.
This was also the first time Qian Daoliu had taken the initiative to seek out Bibi Dong.
His feelings for Bibi Dong were extremely complicated. On one hand, Bibi Dong grew up in the Spirit Hall and was the disciple of his son Qian Xunji. She was also the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and could be considered a junior whom Qian Daoliu had watched grow up.
However, Qian Xunji later raped Bibi Dong and gave birth to Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong then killed her only son, Qian Xunji, which immediately caused the relationship between Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong to deteriorate sharply.
When Qian Daoliu first learned what had happened, his mind was buzzing. He couldn't believe it. How could things have turned out this way?
Even now, he still can't face Bibi Dong. As a father, he hates Bibi Dong, the enemy who killed his son, but his sense of justice makes him unable to accept his son's actions.
Even if Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had been allowed to escape, killing Bibi Dong under the pretext of defection wouldn't have caused Qian Daoliu so much distress. What Qian Xunji did was a disgrace to the Qian family.
As soon as Qian Daoliu entered the Papal Palace, he sensed that something was amiss.
To be precise, it's Bibi Dong who's acting strangely.
